ALPHA Airports Group, the airport services company, is to strengthen its links with Bristol-based BCH Vehicle Management with a sole supply contract hire agreement and a full fleet management package for its fleet of 570 vehicles. BCH has been supplying its accident management service to ALPHA's fleet for two years.

The airport services specialist is to switch its fleet of 178 cars from a finance lease with another supplier over to contract hire with maintenance during the next three years. The rest of the fleet, which is made up of commercial vehicles, changed to a full fleet management package with BCH at the beginning of this month. BCH will be supplying ALPHA with Volkswagen and Audi cars.
